Evaluate the article
This article has a very clear and concise lead section and is well organized. The lead section jumps straight into important information about Obstetrics and Gynaecology as a medical speciality. The article then goes on to tell readers more about the speciality and the route one should take if they were to consider becoming an OBGYN. All the information about OBGYN as a speciality isn't listed in the article and it seems incomplete with the generic information the author has provided. The overall tone of this essay is very neutral and doesn't include any points to persuade readers one way or the other. Unfortunately this article does not include any pictures, also this article fails to mention two popular and common procedures done by OBGYN's in the main section labeled "Common Procedures". The information about C-sections and abortions had to be found though an external link and information on abortions was not included in the article at all. Usually readers won't click on external links, therefore that missing point can be very misleading to someone who are interested in going into this particular field since now their opinion is skewed without all the information. This article also only focuses on OBGYN in the United Kingdom and in the US, when there are obviously OBGYN's all over the world due to women giving birth to children all around the world. In the talk page there is a lot of discussion to change the name of the article to the preferred British spelling and about the inclusion of the speciality "Midwife", due to the fact that becoming a Midwife does not require a MD degree. This article is rated as a start class article and a level 4 vital article due to it not meeting the requirements of a good and resource friendly wikipedia article. My overall impression of this article is that it is a good foundation to build on to produce an amazing article about the OBGYN speciality.
